Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area to host astronomy night

(ROGERS, Ark.) – Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area and The Sugar Creek Astronomical Society will be offering a free night of astronomy enjoyment and education. Kent Martz and Molly Ussery will begin the July 26th evening at 8 p.m. with the indoor program “Light Pollution: It Impacts Critters Too.”
Light pollution adversely affects night insects in several ways. Nocturnal insects use light cues to navigate. Artificial light can cause insects to fly erratically or even in a circle. Artificial light can also be a “fatal attraction”, causing them to waste energy, be eaten by predators, or simply die from exhaustion. Additionally, light pollution can make it difficult for moths to pollinate flowers, reducing plant diversity and fruit production.
At 9 p.m. the group will head outside to view the night sky. July 26 is the second night after a new moon. It will be an excellent time to view Scorpius, Cassiopeia and the Big Dipper, along with several Messier objects.
The Delta Aquarids arrives the following week (peak viewing July 29-31), so that will be part of the conversation as well. Join the folks from the Sugar Creek Astronomical Society at Hobbs State Park. Everyone will be looking at the heavens through their powerful amateur telescopes. Recommended ages – 12+. For more information, call the park at 479-789-5000

The Delta Cultural Center will host Arkansas Arts Council's 2025 Small Works on Paper's exhibit from July 11 - August 22. Small Works on Paper is a juried, touring, visual art exhibition that showcases 2D artwork created by artists statewide and travels up to 10 venues throughout the state in a yearlong show. Admission is free and open to all.

Since the late 1990s, KAWS has been creating a cast of iconic characters steeped in the American zeitgeist that populate his work. Each with their own distinct personality pulled in part from their creator, these characters have been a constant throughline in the artist’s career. The exhibition takes its title and thematic jumping-off point from the sculpture titled FAMILY (2021), which brings together four of KAWS’ characters posed in the style of a family portrait. As witnessed throughout the show, the relationships between the figures can be complex, familiar, and astonishingly heartfelt entryways into human emotions.
